Canarios beans bubbling

tus besos
me despiertan

your kisses

Missing Hope

wafting a deep hopefulness
I breathe in again

Rainy Weather

rain bleeding lightly
family far away now
feeling their absence

Spring Rain

spring rain coming down
I snuggle closer to you
dreams pouring in

Empty Breakfast

I came to eat with you
you left me with nothing but
a croissant to go

Santa Barbara Storms

screams isolated

coastal tornado winds hop

boats tossed ashore

Reflections

thoughts, a flood of the mind
winter rain, coming down in sheets
neurons mirror rain

Jesusita Fire

your hands rub my back
huge flames lick, move up the ridge
watching feelings smoke
